Cat damaged speaker, Help


I posted this on the Asylum, but wanted to get as many opinions as possible.

Our cat cut a slice that looks like a number "7" into the rubber surround of one of my speakers. The woofer is a 6.8" Scanspeak driver which I know is expensive to replace. The speaker seems to sound ok but the cut is bothering me. Is there any kind of glue I can use to repair it without doing more damage to the speaker, or should I just leave it alone? Any help would be appreciated.

My cat has shredded my couch, but has shown no interest in scratching on anything else, including my Magnepans. She must sense somehow that she would get flying lessons if she ever messed with the Maggies!!
Silicone will add weight to that section of the surround(not much, but...), and silicone does not adhere well to neoprene anyway. Get some Super Glue/Krazy Glue/cyanoacrylate adhesive, and dab a TINY bit exactly in the center of the cut, with the tip of a toothpick(don't spread the cut). capillary action will carry the adhesive into the cut, and left alone for a few minutes, the repair will be complete.
Cyanoacrylate adhesive, used in minimal amounts, should work well. And for you guys who are suggesting destroying the cat.... you are cruel and crazy. If you have a pet, it's your responsibility to create an environment where they are nurtured and protected. Your cat or dog did not ask to live with you.... YOU decided to invite them into your home and your life. Be responsible !!!! I've had two cats and four dogs with my Vandersteens and tubes.... never any problems. There's enough crazy violence in this world already. Let's at least respect and take care of our pets !
Another vote for the super glue; a little dab with a tooth pic. I prefer the gel type which doesn't run.
Agree with Adam
There is a simple solution that seems to work well for Vandy and Magie or most any speaker owners
Pick up a spray can of Orange Citrus spray from Bed Bathe and Beyond and a couple plastic sandwich bags.
Spray a fair amount into the Baggies and tape each one to the low back side of the speakers.
You can also spray the base low section around the speaker as well.
Cats seem not to like the orange citrus scent but pleasant to most folks with 2 legs.
